General Dive Plan Considerations
Any diver has the right to refuse to dive without fear of penalty if s/he feels the conditions are unsafe or unfavorable OR the dive violates the precepts of their training OR the regulations of the FAU Diving Safety Program.
It is the responsibility of each diver to terminate the dive, without fear of penalty, whenever s/he feels it is unsafe to continue the dive, unless it compromises the safety of another diver already in the water.
All Dive plans MUST be based on the competency of the least experienced diver.
All Divers-in-training must be buddied with a Scientific Diver.
Absolutely No Solo Diving is allowed.
Depth certification levels may be extended only to the next deepest certification level and only if the diver with the limiting depth certification level is buddied with a diver certified to the deeper depth level.
For all diving conducted under hazardous conditions a plan must be formulated to deal with such conditions.
A Dive Profile MUST be completed for each proposed dive.(copy forms as needed)
If dives are to be conducted from vessels, a Float Plan must also be completed.
An Emergency Plan MUST be completed for each expedition including the following: emergency contact information (including name, relation and telephone number) for each diver, nearest recompression chamber, nearest accessible hospital and anticipated means of transportation.

DIVING ACCIDENT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
A diving accident victim is any person who has been breathing air underwater regardless of depth. It is essential that emergency procedures are pre-planned and that medical treatment is initiated as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of the expedition’s Dive master to develop procedures for such emergencies including evacuation and medical treatment for each dive location.
General Procedures:
Depending on and according to the nature of the diving accident, stabilize the patient, administer 100% oxygen, and initiate the local Emergency Medical System (EMS) for transport to nearest medical facility. Explain the circumstances of the dive incident to the evacuation team, medics and physicians. Do NOT assume that they understand why 100% Oxygen may be required for the diving accident victim or that recompression treatment may be necessary. If time allows, complete some or of the CALL-IN DATA SHEET.
Rescue victim and/or position so the proper procedures may be initiated.
Establish (A)irway, (B)reathing and (C)irculation as required.
Administer 100% oxygen, if appropriate (in cases of Decompression Illness or Near Drowning).
Activate the local EMS for transport to the nearest appropriate medical facility. (the local EMS will vary from site to site – it must be stated in dive plan)
Contact the Diver’s Alert Network as deemed necessary.
Contact Diving Safety Officer (DSO) and Emergency Contact Person, as deemed necessary.
Complete and submit Incident Report Form (in manual) to DSO.
Expedition Emergency Contact Numbers:
United States Coast Guard – Channel 16 on Marine VHF Radio
